This book is not for the faint of heart, or for those who can't think outside the box. Told by a 5 year old, it is the story of being brought up in a tiny room where his mother was being held captive. He knew nothing of the outside world, and was quite happy in his known existance.

At times I felt myself feeling claustrophobic and had to put it down. I thought the author did an amazing job of addressing various issues as they arrived, showing how the mother coped through her son.

The book shows a glimpse of what it must have been like for the girl in Austria who was actually held hostage underground by her father. Its not a pleasant read, but my bookclub did enjoy the discussion of the various subjects.
